As you’ll see, the day’s event is packed with great discussion panels that are sure to interest a wide range of writers. The programme schedule will appear shortly.

The trip to Germany was pretty uneventful, although Hannover was really cold when I got there – about -7 degrees centigrade. Thankfully I was met by someone who drove me to the hotel. He was also taking Darius Kazemi to the hotel and it was nice to meet a fellow speaker so soon, especially when …
The trip to Germany was great and I’ll blog about it properly over the weekend. When I got back I’d discovered that I’ve been confirmed for the Writing Industries Conference. This will be very different to the one I’ve just attended and will be pretty exciting to see such a broad range of writing disciplines …
I just happened to come across this great review at Jayisgames.com. “The first thing that makes it so unique is the engrossing and thrilling storyline, which starts slowly and builds momentum to a frantic pace” “Rhianna Ford & The Da Vinci Letter is a fun wild ride through a captivating story that grabs hold and …
With no hype or fanfare whatsoever, a new game has just been released – Rhianna Ford and the Da Vinci Letter.

I was looking at the links that brought people to my site when I saw that a few had come from this one today. Imagine how flattered I feel at such kind words. Thanks, Terramax, I’m touched.
I just got back from the voice recording we did for the Wii version of So Blonde. I was working with DTP (the publisher) and the talented guys at Outsource Media, who organised a great cast again and ran a great series of recording sessions that couldn’t have gone any smoother if we’d wanted. If …
I’ve been invited to sit on a panel on the subject of Writing for Games. I’m really excited by this and am sure that it will be a fabulous evening. If you’re anywhere near London why not come along? The event even has it’s own Facebook page, so it’s sure to be a roaring success. …
The Writers Guild of America announced last year that it would be creating a new award aimed at game writers. More recently it announced the shortlist, amongst which was the game The Witcher. But because I am not a member of the WGA or its New Media Caucus I was not included in the list …
